This review is from: Bear: The Hard Life and Good Times of Alabama's Coach Bryant (Hardcover)

I recommend this book to die hard Bama fans. Bear will always be loved and remembered and this is a good way to continue the legacy. I liked it. I also recommend a "Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" by Chris Warner. It is good too for SEC fans like me that travel to the games.

Follow as the legendary Coach Paul W. "Bear" Bryant retraces his life from childhood to Alabama's 1974 Sugar Bowl national championship game with Notre Dame. It is a look inside a man among men and a mover of men.

For potential Leaders in all walks of life, this book is a must-read. It is the modern day equivalent to Sun-Tzu's Art of War.
